A drone attacked an army base held by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in southwestern Yemen in the early hours of Friday, killing four suspected militants, witnesses said.
The base is near al-Mukulla, a port city which has been the target of several drones attacks in recent weeks including one that killed Nasser al-Wuhayshi, the leader of AQAP, one of the most active branches of the Al-Qaeda militant network.
